China Imposes Fresh Lockdown In Changchun After New Outbreak Of COVID Cases
A significant rise of COVID-19 cases in the northeastern city of Changchun prompted China to impose a lockdown of the city's 9 million residents on March 11.
Written By Aparna Shandilya

A significant rise of COVID-19 cases in the northeastern city of Changchun prompted China to impose a lockdown of the city's 9 million residents on March 11. Residents are being asked to stay at home and go through three rounds of mass testing, while non-essential businesses have been closed and transportation links have been disrupted. It is pertinent to point out that China was the first country in the world to impose a lockdown in the city of Wuhan following the outbreak of COVID in 2020, in what has also been debated as the origin of the virus.

Despite earlier signals that authorities would be taking more targeted measures, the latest lockdowns, which also include Yucheng in the eastern province of Shandong, demonstrate China is adhering to the harsh approach to the pandemic it has been enforcing for most of the past two years...

China faces severe resumption of Covid epidemic, Changchun city reconfined itself

by Sébastien Berriot published on March 11, 2022 at 3:58 p.m.

China decides to reconfine the big city of Changchun, nine million inhabitants. The country is experiencing its worst outbreak in two years. One person per household is now allowed to go out, once every two days to ensure supplies.

China has been facing the worst outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic in two years for the past few days. Hundreds of new cases have been identified in several regions of the country. To cope, the authorities are strengthening health measures very strongly, including the confinement of the nine million inhabitants of the city of Changchun, near the border with North Korea.

Public transport at a standstill, no more taxis or schools

For several days, health authorities in Jilin province (northeast China) had been facing a steady increase in the number of cases, more than 1,100 recorded in ten days, which is huge for a country practicing the policy of “zero Covid”. This Friday morning, the decision was therefore made to place the provincial capital Changchun in total containment mode.

As for the city of Xi'an last December, the nine million inhabitants no longer have the right to go out. Only one person per apartment is allowed to go shopping once every two days. Public transport is at a standstill. There are no more taxis, no more schools. Local authorities are also anticipating a massive influx of patients into health centers. Within hours three temporary hospitals were put into operation in the province with 1,220 beds.

The “zero Covid” strategy is not called into question

What worries in China is that this resumption of the epidemic does not seem to be isolated, as it has been the case in recent weeks and months. This time, a very large part of the country is affected, at least a third of the provinces. Cases have been recorded in particular in Shanghai where from this Saturday, schools, colleges and high schools will close. In the country's second city, a form of fear has begun to take hold. A rumor is circulating insistently on social networks making was of a confinement of the city to come. The official New China news agency had to publish a press release to deny the information.

It is the first time in two years that China has faced such a severe outbreak of the epidemic. Officially there is no question of going back on the "zero Covid" strategy put in place by the authorities since the start of the epidemic, but the very worrying health situation at the moment in Hong Kong could still push the government Chinese to think about and possibly change its health strategy in the face of Covid-19.

China: millions of confined people face a record outbreak of cases in two years

LAURIE CHEN
Agence France-Presse

Millions of people were confined across China on Sunday, the country having recorded its highest rate in two years of daily cases of coronavirus, but the policy “zero COVD-19” causes fatigue of the populations and questions about its merits .

Due to a spike in cases across the country, living quarters were cordoned off one by one in Shanghai, China's most populous metropolis, along with schools, businesses, restaurants and shopping malls.

Authorities also said Sunday that people could not leave or enter the city without a negative test in the past 48 hours.

In the tech hub of the south, Shenzhen, bordering Hong Kong, 17 million people were placed in lockdown on Sunday after 66 new cases were reported, along with entire cities in the northeast, when almost nineteen provinces are fighting local outbreaks due to the Delta and Omicron variants.

Yanji, a town of 700,000 people on the North Korean border, has been completely confined. And the big city of Jilin, in the northeast, has been partially, with hundreds of districts put under bell, announced Sunday an official.

Residents of Jilin, which has reported more than 500 cases of the Omicron variant, had completed their six rounds of mandatory drug tests on Sunday, according to local authorities.

China, where the virus was first detected in late 2019, has applied a zero-tolerance policy to the outbreak. It reacts to epidemic outbreaks with local confinements, mass screening, control of its population through tracing applications and the country's borders remain practically closed.

But this record of daily cases, caused by the Omicron variant, undermines this approach.

"The emergency response mechanism in some areas is not robust enough, the understanding of the characteristics of the Omicron variant is insufficient (...) and the judgment has been inaccurate", admitted during a press briefing of the government Zhang Yan, health official of Jilin province.

Jilin's mayor and Changchun's health official were removed from their posts on Saturday, state media reported, in a sign of the political imperative imposed on local authorities to tackle outbreaks.

China has so far managed to keep coronavirus cases very low thanks to the drastic measures, but fatigue with this strict approach is growing in the country.

Zero COVID-19
Several officials are now advocating for more targeted measures, and economists are warning that sweeping measures are hurting the country's economy.

"It's the worst since 2020," a Shenzhen resident named Zhang told AFP. “The closings are too sudden, my friend woke up in the morning to find her building had been sealed off overnight without warning. His boss must have mailed his laptop to him.

Hong Kong, for its part, currently has one of the highest death rates in the world from the virus, with Omicron hitting its elderly population who are still reluctant to get vaccinated.

Thousands of expatriates have also left the city, mainly due to the closure of schools and severe restrictions that have reduced any gathering or movement to near zero.

Faced with rising cases, China's national health authority announced on Friday that it would introduce the use of rapid antigen tests, which could indicate a form of relaxation of the Communist Party's health policy.

Last week, a top Chinese scientist said the country should seek to live with the virus, as other countries have done.

But the government has not ruled out the possibility of resorting to strict confinements.
